Alford Ski Centre

Alford Ski Centre timetable

We offer a number of ski holiday camps during the school holidays, catering for children aged 4 to 16 years and covering beginners, improvers or intermediates and introduction to race.

Activities

We offer all year round snowsports and tubing with a dedicated team of qualified and experienced snowsports instructors.

Skiing and snowboarding

We have all year round public sessions for skiers and snowboarders, private instruction for people who would like one-to-one instruction and also skiing parties.

Private instruction is available for skiing or snowboarding on most days throughout the year, with one hour private lessons for one or two people, or half hour junior private lessons for one or two people.

Skiing parties are one hour use of the slope and one hour use of the lounge afterwards. If any participants are non-skiers, a ski instructor is required and available for up to eight people.

In the interest of safety, all skiers and boarders during public sessions must be able to perform to our minimum standard, which is a controlled snow plough turns and stop for skiers and a falling leaf for boarders from the top of the main slope. Long trousers, long sleeves, gloves and helmets must be worn on the slope at all times.

Ski and snowboard lessons

We provide lessons for both juniors and adults. Ranging from first time beginners to more advanced riders.

Public sessions run most weekends and on weekdays during school holidays. We recommend you reserve tubes as we have a limited amount of them.

Tubing parties are pre-booked exclusive sessions. They are available on weekends, occasional term time weekdays and on weekdays during school holidays. A party includes the use of the slope for one hour and the use of the lounge for one hour afterwards.

We allow a maximum of 25 tubes at any one time and recommend no more than 25 participants per party.

Children can take part in tubing parties if they are able to walk and fit a helmet safety, younger children must sit in a tube with an adult. Children of all ages must be supervised at all times.
